V for Victory Bra - Latte with optional removable pads

Love the comfort of the bra and better shape for me with the added pads. Unfortunately the seam between the top of the metal V and the shoulder straps lifts up and creates a strong raised line under tops.

Hi Megan, so sorry this is happening for you. Are you able to tighten the straps so it sits firmer to the body? This might help 🙏

very comfy and cute

I am in love with this bra. At first, I thought it was a tight fit but it stretched just a tiny bit so I am glad I didn't exchange for bigger size. It is now so comfortable that I don't need to take it off when I get home. I now have 3 The Very Good Bras and I can't wear anything else.

Great bra

Lovely bra, great fit. The best bit for me is the extremely comfortable feel on my skin. It’s been a 5 year long search for a suitable bra post developing an allergy to nylon, polyester and fabric dye amongst others. I tried everything out there and this is the first time I have found great fit, reasonable control on my small chest bigger cups. I am typically a UK size 34 E-F. Strongly suggest using the size guide to work out best possible options. I fall between band sizes and need a full cup coverage to make a good fitting. I’m delighted this bra gets me close enough. My only wish is that it comes in natural undyed or white cotton, then it would be perfect.

Grat Bra

This is my 5th Bra by the very good Bra. It’s a great colour, great shape and feels lovely. If you want to show yourself some love switch your underwear over completely! Life’s too short for ill-fitting plastic underwear that gives you thrush and harms the environment.

Very soft and comfortable

I love the pyjama top I purchased. The material is so soft and comfortable and I love the fact that it is all natural. It is also so stylish and looks fabulous on.
